Maggie's Movies: Second Shot Walkthrough and Tips

The Basics:
Maggie's Movies: Second Shot is a time management game in which you prepare food, props, and costumes, and serve it to customers.  This game contains an excellent tutorial at the beginning of the first level.


Tip: You can turn off game hints, or change difficulty in the settings menu.

Crew members order items and pay for it.   Click on the product requested, then click on the crew member to serve it.  Some items require multiple actions. 

Tip: If you make a mistake and put something on your tray that you don't need, click on it and it will be removed from the tray.

When a customer is waiting to pay you will see an image of bills and coins; the coins represent the tip.  The higher the customer happiness--the more hearts a customer has--the greater the tip.    Customers will become impatient and pay lower tips if they have to wait in line behind other customers for too long.  Angry customers will leave and you'll be penalized.

When a customer arrives at the counter to pay, a thought bubble will show a stack of money and a stack of coins.  The coins are the tip amount; as a customer decreases in happiness the tip amount will decrease as well. Doing the same action twice or three times in a row (chains) will help you achieve higher scores by giving you combo bonuses.  Combos can be earned by having two or three complete orders prepared on your tray, and serving them to the customers without an interruption to do another task.  Serving two customers gets you the a combo bonus of  +11; three customers gives +16; four in a row earns +21.

Combos can also occur when using the cash register.  When you check out two customers at the same time, you get a combo bonus for +10, three customers together give a bonus of +20.  Note that this is not two customers in a row, but rather at the same time.  When customers are ready to pay, they will stand at the counter; wait until you have two or three waiting to pay and one click of the cash register will take care of them all at once.

Tip: Plan to serve complete orders only, as doing this will give you a Full Order bonus of +5 per table or counter customer.

An All Clean +30 bonus will be earned for having a clean set at the end of the level. The Full Stock +20 bonus is earned for having all products fully stocked at the end of the level.
